Celebrity Kitchens' Kids Hands-On Cooking Camp-2010 Schedule Overview

Kids Cooking Camp -During the summer of 2010, campers can take a weeklong hands-on culinary journey through a variety of exciting cooking classes offered at Celebrity Kitchens, Independence Mall, 1601 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE. Celebrity Kitchens’ Cooking Camp offers a wonderful opportunity to polish manners, learn table etiquette and safe food handling while learning how to cook and create meals. Campers will learn creative garnishing and carving techniques to enhance the presentation of meals. Cooking camp is fun and a great way to meet others with a passion for cooking. Each of the camp programs features some international cuisine. The campers will learn about food in other cultures as well as learn how to prepare the foods that they love. Each day, campers will prepare the lunch they will eat. Come and cook your way around the world with us! It’s learning that’s made fun by the creative staff at Celebrity Kitchens. The cost of each weeklong day camp session is $250.00. For information and registration forms, please call Celebrity Kitchens at 203-427-2665. No discount programs apply to kids camp programs.

Children who do not meet the age parameters identified below may be included in a camp session if their skill level and completion of other Celebrity Kitchens cooking programs warrant their inclusion. All classes are completely hands-on; everyone will participate in making various aspects of their meal. A different meal will be created by the campers each day. In addition to general cooking techniques, the campers will be instructed on safe food handling, equipment safety and table etiquette. Campers will learn how to read a recipe, prepare and cook delicious and healthy dishes with emphasis on nutrition and food science. All campers will take home a copy of the recipes used.

All camp sessions require advance registration. Each camp session lasts for five days, Monday through Friday. Camp begins promptly at 9:00am and ends promptly at 12:00pm. The cost of each day camp session is $250.00.

Full payment is expected at the time of registration. Class size is limited to 12 children. Registration is non-refundable.
